Puente Inc. launched Puente AI Anime Factory in September 2026 as a service that handles anime and music PV production from planning through editing. The company puts the cost at roughly one third to one half of conventional production and says pilot reference footage can be ready in about one week. The offering covers character design, cut-by-cut image and video generation, voice, sound effects, BGM, subtitling and format export, and includes a dashboard tracking progress and man-hours. Puente presents the service for webtoon adaptations and short-form AI anime.

In November 2026 the service took on manga as well. Puente added manga production to the AI Anime Factory workflow and reworked episode 1 of its original anime Oiran Tensei into manga, producing 24 pages of illustrated storyboard and three sample manuscript pages. The character consistency rules and human supervision built up during anime production carry over to the static pages. The manga workflow runs five steps: reorganizing source material, panel layout, AI panel generation, programmatic page assembly and human revision.

Across both stories the company standardizes a process it worked out on its own series and states AI use in the notes attached to each work. Puente is based in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture. The two announcements move the offer from anime and music video production to manga pages, with cost and turnaround figures stated by the company and no outside production credits named.
